Yep... *AD because we search for our own nirvana. So many products to choose from, through the different product lines and that never-ending search for that 'just right combination' of preparation methods, brush type or size with soap or cream, strop type works with which razor... a plethora of selections.

What's a guy to do? Keep plugging away, do research, make the best informed decision, buy what you can afford, and if what you get does not 'float your boat' at least there is an opportunity to sell or trade and move on to the next 'best option.'

I've received the Omega last week and tried over the weekend... while it is an okay brush, I prefer my Simpson Case (which is the same height with larger handle) over the Omega boar.
Maybe it's because I used a boar brush for decades and when I discovered badger, boar is somewhat... boring
I think I'll use the Omega Might Midget for camping, so I don't subject my Wee Scot to the elements.

Hey Victor,

If your looking for a small boar I don't think it gets much smaller than the Omega #50014 - TurnBack Travel Brush. I can typicall get two to three pass out of this little guy with out much trouble and very nice on the face.

the 47011 is still slightly smaller that the turnback travel brush..
